NICARAGUA MISSION TRIP OPPORTUNITIES 2026
The Heights Baptist Church has several mission trips to Nicaragua scheduled for 2026 in partnership with Chosen Children Ministries (CCM), our ministry partner in Nicaragua. Each trip has space for 15 team members.
Teams will build homes, provide a medical clinic (on specific trips), lead daily women’s Bible studies, evangelize door-to-door in the community, and host a daily VBS for children. Teams will also feed children in the community on several days and distribute food bags to church families.
Our teams stay on the CCM mission campus in Masaya, near Managua. Chosen Children Ministries provides housing, meals, ground transportation, and translators.
The approximate cost of the trip is $1,900 per person.

Ministry Opportunities - The Nicaragua Mission Trip will offer the following ministry opportunities.
Evangelism
Two or three-person teams will do door-to-door evangelism in the barrios. Individuals participating on these teams will be trained in sharing the Gospel and the technique of using a translator.
Teaching of Children (VBS)
The format of teaching children will be similar to Vacation Bible School. Bible stories and crafts will be used in these sessions along with games. We will use material suggested by Chosen Children Ministries.
Construction
Construction projects will be selected or assigned by the Chosen Children Ministries staff in Nicaragua. Examples of projects are building block or metal homes, addition to churches, etc.
Medical
A medical clinic will be conducted in the barrio(s). The clinic will be staffed by a doctor(s), nurse(s), and a pharmacist. In addition, we will fit individuals as need with reading glasses.
Note: This ministry is dependent on sufficient medical personnel on the team.
